Buddhism and science: Can both Co-exist?

Harrypal21 Jul, 2024History

The core Buddhist concepts of impermanence and interdependence are grounded in a logical understanding of reality that is comparable to contemporary science. This fundamentally similar approach keeps Buddhism and science from seriously clashing. Buddhism?s main goal is to alleviate spiritual suffering in humans, not to make sense of the natural rules. As a result, Buddhists have freely incorporated the useful scientific innovations from every era and location. Scientific technology is neither good nor evil in the eyes of Buddhists. Buddhism acknowledges, however, that an egotistical use of technology can undermine the integrity of other life forms, which can therefore undermine human welfare. Buddhism places a strong emphasis on the harmonious coexistence of all creatures and the interconnectedness of all life.
